TP-Link TL-PA4010P KIT AV600 Powerline Kit with AC Pass-Through

title claims 600Mbps throughput, yet the ethernet ports are only rated at 100Mbps. no idea why they opted to mislead the customer like this. so with my 300/100Mbps connection I can only get up to 100/100Mbps, which is still fine for most purposes I suppose but I was expecting to be able to get significantly more download speed.

it does at least work fairly well apart from that, so if you don't care about 100Mbps cap on download/upload, then it's a good product. title claims 600Mbps throughput, yet the ethernet ports are only rated at 100Mbps. no idea why they opted to mislead the customer like this. so with my 300/100Mbps connection I can only get up to 100/100Mbps, which is still fine for most purposes I suppose but I was expecting to be able to get significantly more download speed.

My setup goes Router>This adapter>Wall>Power splitter>Adapter>Desktop. Despite having to go through the power bar, I get close to full speed (50MB/s) speed with no appreciable increase in latency. Everyone warns you not to have anything between the adapter and the wall, but it honestly hasn't been a problem with me. I used to use a 5GHz wifi network before this which has been suffering intermittent dropouts, but I'm not having any of that anymore. Disclaimer: Mileage may vary

I have four of them currently in the house and they all work great. it loses a star, because it comes included with Cat 5 ethernet cables, which is only rated for a max of 100mbps, while the units themselves support significantly more than that. so if you want the full performance, you need to buy better cables for them. Cat 5e and Cat 6 should both be more than enough I have four of them currently in the house and they all work great. it loses a star, because it comes included with Cat 5 ethernet cables, which is only rated for a max of 100mbps, while the units themselves support significantly more than that. so if you want the full performance, you need to buy better cables for them.

So my ONT and router are next to my desktop pc and my tv and games console are at the other end of my home. The little wifi extender I had in place just wasn’t doing enough. So these little units, combined with an Ethernet switch I had knocking about allowed me to hardwire into my PS4 and smartvu+ box running Freeview and my tv apps. A speed test shows my download speed as 74Mbps (I’m on 100/20). A vast improvement over wifi.

A word of advice: download the utility from TP Link for this device. This will allow you to specify the main use type: e.g. general internet, gaming, streaming. I imagine this affects latency, so it’s useful to have ...view more So my ONT and router are next to my desktop pc and my tv and games console are at the other end of my home.

Used this for 3 months now and been having issues. It works great for its purpose to deliver an internet signal to a room over a power line. It does this by sending little power spikes and noise in the circuit. I've been having problems with my PCs speakers having a buzzing hum. This can be solved by using a surge protector on sensitive devices but most surge protectors ain't powerful enough to eliminate the interference. Used this for 3 months now and been having issues.

Great product, easy to install - had it up and running in minutes. I'd recommend finding two power plugs close by to get the two devices linked first, then moving one of them to it's intended place.

I find it interesting that there are a bunch of these power line adapters that claim ridiculous throughput like 500Mbps when at the tail end, the ethernet interface is 100Mbps.

Overall this product is good bang for buck, and has the power pass through which is super handy. Great product, easy to install - had it up and running in minutes. I'd recommend finding two power plugs close by to get the two devices linked first, then moving one of them to it's intended place.

Very disappointed with this purchase. "High-speed data transfer rates of up to 600 Mbps" advertised on the box is not achievable even with the devices plugged into the same multi-powerboard. Very stable data connection to our sleepout ~40m, however the devices only have 10/100 network adaptors meaning the best throughput I've seen possible is around 80 Mbps.

Have used multiple times now over the past few years. Gets me a useful connection to an end room of the house! I also game with this connection. Have used multiple times now over the past few years. Gets me a useful connection to an end room of the house! I also game with this connection.

I had my doubts about whether it would work well with my place. I am delighted to be proven wrong! It works seamlessly with my system. I had my doubts about whether it would work well with my place. I am delighted to be proven wrong! It works seamlessly with my system.

Works fine and brings fast internet connection from my modem upstairs to my bedroom downstairs. Can't complain about it. Works fine and brings fast internet connection from my modem upstairs to my bedroom downstairs. Can't complain about it.

Easy solution when Wifi is terrible. Works well and very simple setup. Easy solution when Wifi is terrible. Works well and very simple setup.
